WEBINAR
Improving the walkability of African cities
Organised on behalf of the TUMI Network and ICLEI
Approximately half of daily commutes in African cities are on foot, but pedestrians often put their lives at risk by sharing the road with cars in the absence of dedicated non-motorised transport (NMT) infrastructure. In this first webinar, we will be discussing walking as an important mode of transport for safer, healthier, more accessible and more sustainable African cities.
The webinar was hosted by Blake Robinson of ICLEI, and distinguished speakers include:
Stefanie Holzwarth, UN-Habitat: Designing streets for safety, accessibility and comfort in African cities
Sean Cooke, University of Cape Town: The return on investments in NMT
Carly Koinange, UN Environment: Implementing NMT policy with innovative financing
